![]() It seems to Gon that the only way he is going to have access to the resources to find and finally meet his father is to become a Hunter himself - so he cheerfully sets off to take the Hunter Exam. Hunters hunt various things, from criminals to recipe ingredients, depending on their individual talents and preferences. I'll begin with a brief summary: Hunter X Hunter revolves around a ten-ish year old boy named Gon who discovers that his permanently absentee father, Ging, is, in fact, one of the most famous and respected Hunters On the strength of one solitary review, I gave it a watch. Hunter X Hunter, however, sounded quite interesting. ![]() Generally I approach shounen titles with care, since many of them strike me as a bit shallow and vacuous. I recommend this to everyone and especially if you like other shonen shows, then you will love this one, it is the best typical shonen adventure anime out there.įirst off, for the sake of simplicity I'm going to cover all four series (one TV series and three OVAs) in one review, since they actually form a single continuous story. ![]() On of the best shows out there, watch it now! Even if you normally dont like shonen shows, this might still entertain you! It´s not slow paced, there´s more focus on plot than fighting and it actually ends (even if the ending is very open). It´s actually one of the most enjoyable series I have ever seen. It´s not slow paced and there´s always something new and interesting happening in every episode (there might be some exceptions, but I can´t think of any just like that). They also get developed a lot in the show and you find youself just enjoying to watch the characters together.Įven if the first 7 or so episodes are a bit slow, once you get into this show it´s never boring. Here is when the series really start to shine! The characters are great, and unlike too many other shonen shows they are actually both memorable and they don´t feel forced in any way, this without 12 episodes from their pasts. Voices fit characters really well (I watched the subs). The voice acting was also really good, and I didn´t really notice anything to complain about. The openings and endings were nothing special, but I personally loved the BGM! The songs really fit well in the athmosphere and I actually came back to some parts just because the music was so good and fit the whole show so perfectly. Personally I didn´t mind though, both art and animation were smooth, and even if you don´t like older art you´ll probably find it acceptable. Yes, it is quite old and some people might not like it. The show does not end after the exam though, it continues with the celestial tower arc and the yorkshin auction arc, and especially the latter is extremely entertaining. This is executed very nicely and feels refreshing if you´ve watched other Shonen-series. In the third exam for example they have to fight against dangerous criminals, but instead of beating up all of them with super-lightning attacks they introduce different kinds of simple methods, like janken, and make it really interesting. What you´re going to notice is that the story involves very little fighting, and yet it´s really intense. ![]() So in the first part of the series it´s about the exam and you follow Gon and his 3 companions as they try to survive the exam. you want with it, so naturally there´s all kinds hunters, everything from hunters who hunt criminals, hunters who ARE criminals and hunters who tries to master the art of cooking, for example. As long as you complete the difficult and deadly Hunters exam and get your license you can do whatever A hunter is basically a person with a hunters license, and the concept of hunting can be almost anything. It´s about Gon, a 12 year old boy, trying to become a hunter so he can find his father who left him as a child. The story is good, but not really anything mind breaking. I´ll explain why gradually through the review, let´s begin. Hunter X Hunter is a Shonen adventure series, yes, but there´s actually a lot that differs from your typical shonen-show. ![]()
